Here is what I used to auto-mount my CDROM drive in /etc/amd.map: /defaults type:=program cdrom mount:="/sbin/mount mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a ${path}";unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /dev/cd0a" 2 points: 1) You can't do what you want. AMD works by having a special directory which it monitors all activity in. It could be your home directory, but I wouldn't recommend it! For various reasons, I used `/host' (mainly that's what I use at work for doing NFS AMD operations) 2) I have no idea if it auto-unmounts properly :-( To unmount, I do: umount /host kill {amd_pid} Probably not the right way, but it works. Gary P.S. Sorry, I can't remember what I command line arguments I invoked AMD with :-(
